Matters needing attention in Xinjiang tourism

One is the sudden change of the weather. The terrain in Xinjiang is complex, and the temperature difference between day and night reaches 10℃ to 15℃. Even in summer, the temperature difference between mountains is great, and the weather in mountainous areas is changeable. Sometimes the sun shines brightly, sometimes it rains and snows, and sometimes it hails. Therefore, tourists who come to Xinjiang in summer should not only drink plenty of water to prevent heatstroke, but also bring thick clothes to prevent sudden weather changes in mountainous areas.

The second is dietary taboos. Xinjiang is the hometown of melons and fruits, but although melons and fruits are good, we should also pay attention to our diet. Many foreign tourists feasted themselves when they visited Xinjiang. However, some tourists drank hot tea or cold water after eating grapes and other fruits, which led to diarrhea for many days. As a result, the itinerary for several days was delayed.

The third is spare medicine. Xinjiang has a vast territory and a long journey. Some journeys take a day to reach the destination, and even it is difficult to find a small town halfway. Therefore, when traveling in Xinjiang, it is best to take some medicines to prevent colds, carsickness and anti-allergy. Especially those tourists who usually have diseases, they should prepare their commonly used medicines to prevent accidents.

Fourth, national taboos. Xinjiang is an area where Muslims live in compact communities. Influenced by religion, customs and habits are different from those in the mainland. When visiting, do as the Romans do. Temples and mosques are generally forbidden to shoot. Once caught taking pictures, the consequences will be more serious, especially for women and religious people. You must get the permission of the other party before shooting, otherwise it will bring great trouble. When eating in a Muslim restaurant, wash your hands with a kettle when you enter the door, but don't shake the water on your hands. Generally speaking, smoking and drinking are not allowed, let alone talking about taboo topics for Muslims.

Special reminder: several aspects that must be paid attention to when coming to Xinjiang:

1: There is a time difference of more than 2 hours between Xinjiang and the mainland, and the dawn time in June is around 6: 30; The dark time at night is 22: 30-23: 00. Even if it gets dark in September, it will be about 2 1. This means that everyone in Xinjiang must adapt to the concept of jet lag, or jet lag. The departure time and meal time of our trip will be based on the local timetable. We also use World Beijing Time. )

2. The water quality in Xinjiang is hard, and many guests will not accept the water and soil; Most fruits in Xinjiang are cold (cantaloupe fever), beef and mutton fever, and time difference changes; Therefore, many guests will have symptoms of diarrhea or constipation, so be sure to prepare the corresponding drugs before departure.

It must also be reminded here: don't drink hot water after eating fruit, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort; Do not drink cold water after eating beef and mutton. It is best to drink hot tea provided by the restaurant. Although the taste is similar, it can relieve greasy.

3. Xinjiang has a large temperature difference in summer and a dry climate. Be sure to drink plenty of water, wear a sun hat and apply sunscreen on the road. Due to the change of topography, the temperature changes greatly. Even in midsummer, pants and clothes must be prepared.

4. Xinjiang has a long travel distance and is easy to get tired. You'd better have a good rest at night. It is necessary to prepare a pair of sneakers that fit.

If you don't really want to buy when shopping, don't bargain with the stall owner, and don't crowd when others bargain. After all, it is a minority area, and the language is unreasonable. Try to avoid friction.

6. There are different religious beliefs in ethnic minority areas, and Muslims are very devout. If you see a Christian girl, don't look or speak loudly. Don't smoke or make noise when visiting the mosque. Islam prohibits pork and donkey meat, and generally prohibits guests from bringing their own food into restaurants.

7. Everyone will buy some favorite ethnic handicrafts and dried and fresh fruits when they come back from tourism. Be sure to pay attention to the relevant regulations of civil aviation: the weight of each passenger's luggage should not exceed 20 kg, and knives are not allowed in both carry-on luggage and checked luggage. Suggestion: It's best to carry fruit on the plane by hand (appropriate quantity) to avoid turning over jam when you go back; If you really want to buy knives, you can mail them back at the Grand Bazaar Post Office in Urumqi after purchase, so don't have any trouble before boarding the plane.

As a unique and complete tourist area integrating history, culture, ethnic customs and scenery beyond the Great Wall, it is increasingly favored by tourists from all over the world. However, you must pay attention to the following matters in order to enjoy your trip to Xinjiang.

1, because Xinjiang is a typical continental arid climate, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, reaching about 10 to 15 degrees. In other cases, if you spend the night in Tianchi, visit nanshan pasture, climb the 1 glacier, visit Kanas Lake, go to Bayinbuluke grassland and explore in the wild, you must take your coat, sweater and other clothes. When you sleep at night, you should turn on the air conditioner moderately, not too cold, or sleep without a quilt, which will cause physical discomfort.

There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland. The mainland started working at 8 o'clock, and it just got up here. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of staying up late and getting up late in Xinjiang. Some people will be very hungry until 2 noon and 8 pm. Remind everyone to bring some snacks and pad something when they are hungry.

Due to the vast territory of Xinjiang and the long riding time, in many cases, tourists need to get off and walk or experience the fun of riding horses and camels in person. Therefore, a pair of suitable shoes is particularly important.

Although the temperature in Xinjiang is slightly lower than that in the mainland, many areas in Xinjiang have high altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, tourists should prepare sufficient and effective sunscreen products, and at the same time, they should have drugs or granules that can clear away heat, quench thirst and moisten dryness, such as Xiasangju granules and ten drops of water, so as to avoid being unable to bear the too hot climate for a while.

Traveling in Xinjiang, because of the long distance and great climate difference, it is difficult for tourists to adapt for a while, and there may be symptoms of acclimatization. Tourists should bring related drugs and some standing drugs for treating diseases, such as band-AIDS, cold medicines or medicines for treating gastrointestinal discomfort.

6. When you come to Xinjiang to buy things, you should talk about kilograms, not kilograms. We should change everyone's habits and avoid economic disputes.

7. Xinjiang is the hometown of fruit. Eating fruit in Xinjiang is a great pleasure, but don't drink hot tea after eating fruit to avoid diarrhea.

8. Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic area with a strong religious color. People who believe in Islam don't eat pork, which is the biggest taboo in their lives and must not be offended.

9. When traveling in Xinjiang, you must consult professionals who work in Xinjiang travel agencies. Never go by yourself or rent a car by yourself, because there are too many unpredictable factors in Xinjiang tourism.
